You will probably need a flattener/reducer/coma corrector for the 10", it is a Newtonian I'm guessing?

Imaging with a 10" Newt is a challenge for a first go, but doable.

I wouldn't choose the Orion Starshoot G3, it is really low resolution and not a great match for your gear, perhaps look 2nd hand for a OSC camera with some more pixels. You may want to look at a DSLR as a first step.

You will probably find you will get some flex with the newt, so factor in a focuser upgrade and some stiffening if required.

You will want bahtinov mask or similar, and make some choices as to guiding and acquisition software.
